Fun - The Gambler lyrics

rate me

Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy

All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes

We've got 50 good years left to spend out in the garden

I don't care to beg your pardon,

We should live, until we die

We were barely 18 when we'd crossed collective hearts

It was cold but it got warm, when you barely crossed my eye.

And then you turned, put out your hand,

And you asked me to dance

I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight

I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose

I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely

Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields

I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time

So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side

It was the winter of '86, and the fields had frozen over

So we moved to Arizona, to save our only son

And now he's turning into a man, although he thinks just like his mother

He believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone

And even though she moved away

We always get calls from out daughter

She has eyes just like her father T

Hey are blue when skies are grey

And just like him she never stops

Never takes the day for granted

Works for everything that's handed to her

Never once complains

You think that I nearly lost you

When the doctors tried to take you away

But like the night you took my hand beside the fire

30 years ago, to this day

You swore you'd be here 'till we decide that it's our time

But it's not time, you've never quit in all your life

So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side

You're the love of my life, you know that I will never leave your side

You come home from work and you kiss me on the eye

You curse the dog, you say that I should never feed them what is ours

So we move out to the garden and look at everything we've grown

And now the kids are coming home

I'll set the table

You can make the fire
